Q: Hi Peter and Crew,

This is mostly a comment.

I am into my second year of membership and am very pleased with the service. My total question count is under 10 as I tend to 1) ask questions that are quite important to me at the time, and I want to word them as well as I can and 2) I don't want to contribute to overwhelming the Q/A process as I find it so valuable. I also read all the other Q/A's as the answers provide a great wealth of information. I also use the rating reports and model portfolio in my decision making process. All good.

I continue to recommend your service to others.

I actually wrote this note to compliment you on "the depth and quality" of the answers provided. The questions are always answered with a generous amount of background information to provide the foundation reasoning for why the answer is the answer. Most appreciated.

Q. Peter, what is behind the electronic door when I push the "submit button". How big is the team ?

Keep up the great work.

Q: The panic over increasing rates, as you say in your newsletter, has subsided. During it, I moved some assets into American insurance companies as a counterbalance. Do you think the panic might happen again at renewed signs of tapering, and if so what other types of equities might serve as a good counterbalance, benefiting from rate increases? Contrarily, if it doesn't look like rates are rising any time soon, do you think insurance companies will fall back again? Ie, should I be careful of putting too much into them?

Q: Your thoughts on Second Cup (SCU) would be appreciated. This looks like a logical pickup for somebody like MTY Food Group to me. Good dividend while you wait and trading below book. TANKYOU

Q: When I last wrote to you in June we were overweight in Financials, were considering selling but didn't because it felt too much like selling into a panic. Our 2 smallest positions then (and now) are RBC & BMO - both in my opinion now showing positive momentum. Do you believe this is genuine positive momentum or just "irrational exhuberance" courtesy of the central bankers affirming interest rates won't be going up any time soon? A reviving economy should be good news for the banks as there should be more loan demand. My take on positive momentum is to hang-in-there. If we did sell we would likely buy JNJ, Artis or a IShares Hong Kong index EWH (NYSE). Parkland is of interest too.

For me diversification is more tricky than stock picking. We have 28 separate positions which I am trying to bring down to 25.

If you want to improve your web site I would suggest adding spell check!

Thanks in advance for your counsel.
